Modern Elephant Cot Quilt

Create a fun, modern quilt with this cot quilt pattern from Jen Kingwell. Featuring sweet little elephants and hand quilted with Perlé No 8 threads, this modern cot quilt is a great gender-neutral quilt design for a new baby.

• Go bright and graphic, as Jen has, or switch to sweet pastels or neutrals for an equally adorable project
• Pattern sheet included with appliqué shapes have been provided full size, ready to trace
• Instructions have been written for needleturn appliqué, but they can be easily adapted to suit other methods if you wish
• Add visual accents and texture to entertain baby with raw-edge appliquéd strips, prairie points and loops
• The assembly diagram shows how easy it is to join the various blocks using only straight-line stitching
• Copy Jen’s perle thread, large-stitch quilting design or use the background to add your own free-motion quilting
• Makes a wonderful gift for a newborn baby
• This project is ideal for quilters with intermediate-level skills, but a committed beginner with some quiltmaking experience will be able to complete it
